Illawarra and Southern Highlands election predictions:

- Cunningham: Greens will perform well plus the Liberal candidate is a no show (gagged by head-office) = ALP retain with big margin.

- Hume: ALP candidate is a strong performer plus lots of minor parties plus Labor towns now in electorate (eg, Cowra) means Schultz is in trouble but will win.

- Throsby: Greens & Nats will poll well (for them) plus the Liberal candidate is a no-show (gagged by head-office). I predict a Labor win by about 12%.

Bag it and bet on it…
